If you’ve seen the trailer (link in my bio) then you know #mattdamon came back! Matty was part of the fun in #jayandsilentbobstrikeback so when we started #JayAndSilentBobReboot, we reached out to Matt to see if he wanted to return to the scene of the crime. #KevinSmith #benaffleck #JasonMewes #reunited #comiccon #holdenmcneilĪ post shared by Kevin Smith on at 7:54am PDT Thank you, #kevinmccarthytv - your #viewaskew themed opening question not only allowed me to make an 8 page sequel to #chasingamy in the middle of #JayAndSilentBobReboot, it also brought back a massive missing piece of my heart. Not only did we score an amazing scene for the flick, but I also got my friend back - all because of entertainment journalism. And then “Would be a pleasure to see you again, Old Man.” So naturally, weepy me - who breaks down emotionally during comic book flicks - was a blubbery mess. I was scared to be rejected, but I texted him “To paraphrase the sad old King Osric in CONAN THE BARBARIAN? ‘There comes a time when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a director’s love for the people he used to make pretend with.’” And after a long beat of wondering how he’d receive this, my estranged friend wrote back as only he could: “Of course you still liken yourself to a king,” he joked. He wasn’t serious.” A week later, Jordan, and we’re all pressing me to reach out to Ben, so I finally did. So producer said “Call Ben.” I told her “That’s just some nice shit to say at a junket. This scene - and more importantly, my reunion with a guy who I’ve missed terribly for nearly a decade - only happened because of Kev interviewed Ben for his movie #triplefrontier and kicked off by asking Ben “Did they call you for Reboot yet?” And Ben said no, but he was available. But when we started shooting the movie, the scene didn’t exist. MY BOYFRIEND’S BACK! When the trailer for Reboot dropped (link in my bio), folks found out a few of our secrets - one of the biggest being that is back as Holden McNeil! The co-creator of #bluntmanandchronic and friend of #jayandsilentbob plays a crucial role in the Reboot and his scene is one of the best bits of cinema I’ve ever been involved with: it’s absolutely magical and life-affirming and all the things I really care about now, post-heart attack.
